Interesting Things

Rails Bug: Test::Unit seems to be broken in Rails 2.0.2 when using multiple levels of test classes (i.e. inheritance). Trunk is fixed, so Rails 2.0.3 will be fine.
Chad wrote a small utility for checking/comparing Rails versions which wraps the version checking part of rubygems. This, of course, requires that your Rails project uses at least one gem... that's a pretty good bet.

The basic technique:
```
have = Rails::VERSION::STRING
requirement = '=1.99.1'
Gem::Version::Requirement.new([requirement]).satisfied_by?(Gem::Version.new(have))
```
One pivot is having trouble finding a rogue puts statement in a gem somewhere. The suggestion comes a bit late in this case, but adding some breadcrumbs may help next time:
```
puts "#{__FILE__}:#{__LINE__} find me!"
```

Does anyone have details regarding Google Maps API developer permissions? Localhost-to-localhost requests work fine, but we need to test things between machines (actually, a virtual machine client and virtual machine host).
